Walking vs running, which do you prefer?

Walking nonstop all day long, haha

Since childhood, I have had little to no talent for running.

I don't really like running either.

I like it when you walk quickly instead.

The effects of walking and running exercises are different, right?

Lately, I've noticed there's also "interval walking."

"Interval walking" is said to be good for blood sugar management and improving vascular elasticity.

After becoming accustomed to walking, you adjust your speed by doing things like "fast walking while swinging your arms and legs for 1 minute, then walking at your original pace for 1 minute" or "fast walking for 3 minutes, then walking at your original pace for 3 minutes." This gradually trains your muscles and makes fast walking more comfortable.

Widening your stride is also an effective method. Even just increasing your stride by about 10cm compared to your usual walking pace can provide a significant muscle stimulus. Strengthening the thigh and pelvic stabilization muscles becomes advantageous for blood sugar regulation. This not only leads to improvements but also helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. However, when widening your stride, you need to maintain your body's center of gravity while walking. People with weak pelvic muscles may experience shifting of their center of gravity, increasing the risk of falls. When walking, keep your gaze straight ahead, stand upright, swing your arms naturally, and step in the order of heel, sole, and toe.
